I am an American living in Derry, Northern Ireland. I am married to wonderful, supportive Irishman. I have two beautiful red-headeds and two stupid, loving dogs. I need to lose weight to manage my two broken knees and my nerve disorder. My doctor doesn't want to do any knee surgery at all until I lose at least 60lbs, so easy to say, incredibly hard to do, especially when you hurts to walk or stand or sit.

Welcome! If you need a shoulder, a friend or a virtual coffee at some point, drop by and say hello! I've just celebrated my SP nine month anniversary and am amazed at the absolutely incredible amount of support I've received. This is a fabulous site and you will be astounded at what you get out of it if you give it your all.

To celebrate your arrival at SP in this season, I would like to wish you a everlasting renewal of energy and passion, for this is a time to celebrate the great potential you possess. May the sun shine upon you and fire up your heart to reach all of your goals and find joy in yourself and the world around you. Whatever battles you are fighting, whatever stresses may come your way, may you find energy, confidence, vitality and strength. This is the time to shine bright and show the world how beautiful you are. Embrace the summer-lit brilliance of each day and you will create a new life where all your wildest dreams come true. ~ Michelle

Yes, slow and steady finishes the race. Hey, starting tomorrow, I'm going to be doing 100 consecutive days of fitness. Now, you don't have to commit to full workouts every day -- you can just do 10 minutes a day if you want. Are you interested in joining? There is a group for it, but my friend and a couple of her friends decided to do it and hold one another accountable. They already started, but I'm starting tomorrow. Let me know if you're interested. If not, no biggie. i was just thinking it might be a great way to get you to commit to moving without actually killing yourself, ya know?
